New thread as the old one is already full of info no longer have a use:

This is a direct port of lefeudedieu version for Rocktab. It works faster and more stable than previous beta. It was supposed to have increased app space but it doesn't, have to take a look at that.

I have installed using RKAndroid from a rom without increased app space. No idea if other way of installing will work.

As always, I take no responsibility if this rom bricks your tablet, rape your cat, or whatever.

Changes from Lefeudedieu rom are:

* Change the way of SD Card mounting so Browser and other apps can work with internal memory if you don't have an sdcard installed.

* Change device identification in build.prop to identify as a Gen8 device.This will allow us to install Appslib and try versions of the apps for Android 2.x

* Change the framework folder for the one on the Beta 3 image. This fix a problem with the font and also with the Sd Card mounting. Weird. Someday I will have to try to understand how that framework thingy works, as the new one by lefeu feels faster and it is also prettier.

After installing, it will ask you to calibrate screen, then give an error. Just click on Go Home Screen.

And, remember, most video still doesn't work, only some MP4 files. Acording to Kornyone, the $%&# of Rockchip implemented some kind of protection to avoid DSP video decoding to work on modified roms, and noone have figured yet how to break it. Of course, the lack of valid kernel source codes -that we are legally entitled to obtain- doesn't help with this.

Thanks for the ROM. I ran into a problem with the SD card. I get a message that it is ┬½damaged┬╗. When I mount the tablet to the usb connection, I can see the contents of the SD card, but the tablet does not recognize it. Formatting the SD card does not work.

Because for me I can confirm there is no solution for repair video on my side

For your problem in SD, try to regain boot.img beta 3 and change the vold.conf with that of beta 3.

Think add in boot.img: tweak.sh and file module

and add the custom rom and tweaks at the end of init.rk28board.rc

Because In my 2.1 update 6 of today i added this :

writable system partition mounted to /data (aufs)lowmemorykiller tweaks (minfree for more aggressive background task killing)addition of compatible cifs.ko in /system/lib/modules to mounting(thank to xaueious)

Thanks lefeudedieu.I think it's working. First I tried editing system.img (by changing framework and vold.conf) and that alone did not work. Then I followed your advice and created an sdcard folder under the flash folder in boot.img. I no longer get the damaged sd card message.

Tried out the Beta 5 this evening.It's kind of quite fast and is able to install Opera Mini 5.1.1, but that's unfortunately the only positiv thing I can say about it. (compared with the Beta 3).

- App memory is around 30 MB, installed applications are not as much as in the Beta 3- Drives are not visible in Windows- It crashed when I started a book in Aldiko reader (1.13)- Quick System Info can't be installed (on board with Beta 3)

agarond,to make the drives visible in windows, just go menu - notifications (in the home screen), there you will see a menu item USB - copy files from computer... and when you press that, it will ask you to mount.

Specialb,... I'm still getting the "damaged SD card error message." I copied to system.img the vold.conf and framework folder from b3; then in boot.img I copied the mnt folder, and added a sdcard folder inside the flash folder (which I also did for the recovery.img file). Then I recompiled and loaded.At first it does not give the error message for sdcard, but when I look at the sdcard and storage menu in settings, it gives values of 0.0, and filexplorer is not able to get into sdcard; when I unmount the card and re-load it, then I once again get the message "damaged sd card." Trying to format the sdcard from the AHT7 does nothing (does not even erase the contents), and formatting it from windows does not help either.

I know the card is not actually damaged because I'm able to read its contents from windows, when the drives are mounted.

Romulus, please go back to default image without modified vold.conf and with /flash/sdcard folder created and tell me how it behaves. Also, this very same SD Card worked ok on beta 3?

Agarond, thanks for your reports. In this beta images good, clean bug reporting is really needed About app space, yeah, it seems it is not getting increased like it happens on Rocktab, will have to take a look at it.

Thanks for the advice. Curiously enough, that did not work either. It still said damaged SD card, and file explorer said that it was unmounted.

beta 3 worked Ok insofar as the sd card went. The problem that I had there was that the memory was too small. I was able to install Kindle and Kobo, but not aldiko (which I couldn't download from Market, in the first place) or Isilo.

... Maybe I needed to re-install from beta3, rather than from yar28 (which I had done before!). NOw it seems to want to behave itself!

I have noticed a couple of things (issues I also had with b3): Kindle and Kobo install OK, but then you are unable to download and open books - you are able to read books which you manually put in their folders.

Also, for some reason RotateD and BlueRSS do not work on these applications (Kindle, Kobo, Isilo). Is there any other program we could use to rotate the screen?Thanks.

@specialbi just have the sd problem if i dissconnect my device from PC(win XP) and if i restart my archos then is the error gone and i can use my sdcard normallysorry for my english i hope you understand

very nice rom it just need a bigger appspace and soundrecording dont work
